There is not always the understanding of spiritual abuse and religious trauma within faith organisations.
The secular world or statutory services do not always understand faith, or the impact of the faith aspects of any abuse or trauma.
Those who have experienced abuse and trauma within faith can be left feeling isolated, misunderstood or sometimes judged.
We offer a number of support services to those who have experienced abuse and trauma within faith
We offer tailored support services to people who have experienced harm in faith cultures. This includes:
If this is you and you would like support, please get in touch.
Once you contact us, we will be in touch via email to find out a little about what you want support with.
We will then offer you up to 6 support sessions, each lasting for one hour. We will decide together how you would like to use this time. We can help you with things like:
Support calls are offered over the phone or via Zoom.
Our support is free to anyone who needs to access it.
If you are an organisation wanting to commission support services or refer people to us, there is an expectation that you will pay for the cost of this support. We will discuss this with you when you get in touch.
Our support services cost us £60 per session to run. If you would like to donate to cover all or part of a cost of a session, you are welcome to do so.
If someone accessing support decides to make a donation towards the cost of that support, they are welcome to do so. However those who donate will not receive any preferential treatment.
All calls are confidential (unless there is a concern that you or someone else is at risk of harm. In which case we will discuss any safeguarding action we need to take together and agree a way forward.)
Whilst our support workers may have a faith, they are independent to any denomination or faith community. As an organisation we are completely independent.
Our support workers understand all faiths and no faith and provide support accordingly with understanding.
All our support workers have lived experience of abuse and trauma within faith and callers value the fact that we “get it”
Support is given based on need regardless of any protected characteristics, or any theological positions held in relation to any protected characteristics.
All of our services are free to survivors. If an organisation wishes to refer people to us for support where there has been harm within that organisation, there is an expectation that the organisation will pay for the cost of that support.
“I just wanted to thank you for listening yesterday on the phone. I felt heard, understood and believed, which has been very healing for me…..It was such a release to hear the recognition in your voice that identified with what I was saying, where I have been misunderstood and at times criticised for my actions…..I know my journey is not yet complete, but I really feel supported by you and will definitely keep in touch.”
Where the content and discussion matter of workshops, training, conference, or research projects may cause distress or may trigger previous experiences of abuse and trauma, we can provide support for delegates or participants.
This will be tailored to each situation dependant on the number of hours of support that may be needed, and the subject matter discussed.
The hourly cost will be £32 with a minimum of 7.5 hours (£240)
The cost will therefore be relative to the number of hours needed. Please contact us to discuss your needs.
We are currently developing online resources on common themes that we advise and support on.
We will also include links to other organisations resources and useful content, videos and information from other sources.
The resources will be published here once we have developed these and they are quality assured.
